Whadda gamesetmatch - Rafa The God in neon musk pink V Victor Estella Burgos (seeded 1000003456 and from where? Dominican Republic) in Melburnian black. Well. Evening ensues (punctuated by Rafa’s “ eeeeng!”+cracksacnoseearsnoseears ritual and Estrella Burgos’ “eerrrrghhh!”+cheeky1000watt smile -he knew it was hopeless dinny? But played like David did Goliath, just not with the same biblical outcome). But the locals are too fond of an underdog aren’t they? So loud and joyful rooting kicked in. (The roar for Victor!) Needless to say; 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 And it was all over in a two hour minute blink but, bless Victor, you’re what the first blasts of the Aussie Open are all about #thisfromrow0 #froma32yearveterenobserver #kiatennis #ausopen18 #rafarules #victorthehero (at Australian Open)
